Wi-Fi analysis kit

Berkeley Varitronics has released its latest Yellowjacket offering an 802.11b/a/n/g developer’s kit for Wi-Fi development engineers.

The kit includes a calibrated Wi-Fi receiver and DLL (dynamic link libraries) software to get engineers up and running with their own custom software development. Developers can control receiver modules for customisable WLAN surveys, interference detection and packet traffic analysis.

The calibrated receiver measures between 2.0 and 5.9 GHz covering bands including Wi-Fi, WiMAX, ISM, public safety and Bluetooth.

The device sweeps and demodulates all 802.11b/a/n/g packets providing MAC, SSID, SNR, delay spread and CFR. The receiver measures RSSI to within +1.0 dB and contains an internal 12-channel/satellite receiver for geo-coded site surveys. Modules communicate to any PC via ethernet and USB ports.
